“Tele-operated ACTROID-F”, the latest android in which Kokoro’s technologies are made full use of, has achieved cost reduction and weight saving while re-creating more lifelike facial expressions compared with the existing Actroid series. Kokoro is famous for having created a robot which was registered as “the first true android avatar” by Guinness World Records. As all air servo valves and a set of control equipment, which were previously incorporated in the external control box, are incorporated in the robot main body, wiring to the external control box is not needed . So you can make the robot sit on various types of chairs, such as a sofa or an office chair, depending on the scenes. A tele-operation system is used for the operation of the robot. Interactions full of live sensation can be created because the operator can transmit the movement of his/her face to the robot in real time.
